@ Tutorials: The tutorial hour will be used for a quick review of the highlights of the material covered in the

lectures, clarification of doubts and problem solving. Further, a set of problems will be assigned periodically, of

which the Instructor will specify one to be solved by the students in the tutorial hour of the following week.

Students must bring the tutorial problem sheets to the subsequent tutorial session without fail; they

should not write any thing on those sheets except their name and Id no. The second method of evaluation in

tutorial will be of a short quiz based on the lectures covered recently. Totally there will be twelve such tutorial

evaluations out of which the best ten will be accounted. Each tutorial evaluation will be for three marks.

Chamber Consultation Hour: Friday 9th Hour (4-4:50pm) at 3165(CAHU).

Makeup Policy: See Part I for details. However, it may be noted that there will be no make up for tutorials since

the best ten out of twelve evaluations are only taken into account.

Notices: Notices, if any, concerning the course will be displayed on the notice board of Chemistry Group only.
